A Drexel University professor, whose tweet that he wanted "white genocide" for Christmas sparked a firestorm of criticism from the school and social media, said on Tuesday that administrators supported his right to take part in political debate.

George Ciccariello-Maher, a white associate professor of history and politics at the Philadelphia university, has said his Christmas Eve posting of "All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide" on Twitter was aimed at poking fun at white supremacists.

He is an expert on Latin American social movements with about 10,000 Twitter followers.

But his attempt at satire triggered a backlash from conservative websites, with some online comments calling for him to be fired or commit suicide. Drexel on Sunday called his tweet "utterly reprehensible" and said it would meet with him to discuss it....

How does calling for white genocide “make fun of white supremacists?” It doesn’t even make sense. And what, as the article states as fact, is he “satirizing?” That doesn’t make sense either.

“But I know many Drexel grads, and they are NOTHING like this jerkweed.”

I completely believe that, but we will never conquer the liberal establishment until we take back control of our universities. That asshat proves Drexel does not have control over their university. That means students become educated despite the liberals and the students deserve better than that.

Leon Redbone called.

He wanted his facial hair back.

Or maybe it was P.G.T. Beauregard.

If you're not using it, that is.

Tintin called.

He wanted his hairstyle back.

George Wallace is on the other line.

He wanted to know where you got the "pointy-headed liberal" doo?

Sounds like an indictment of the school.

“...take back control of our universities...”

Not going to happen overnight, but you are correct. One step at a time; January 20th 2017 is step one.

“...the students deserve better than that....”

Indeed. Often wonder if moms and dads knew exactly what their hard-earned money was funding, how quickly they’d pull their kids out.

But then again, slightly less than half the country seems okay with this bullsh*t, so...

>>Why would anyone — of any color — want to go to Drexel?

It’s not a question of wanting to, but of having to.

Now suppose he had said, “All I want for Christmas is black genocide”. Would the university then support him? In fact, would he still be on the faculty?

If you take a “serious major” you can pretty much structure your electives so you never run into these people.

according to university ratings, it is ranked 95th overall. 53rd in engineering, and it is a private school. Many, many better choices for engineering.

His one-time satire claim is BS. He published a paper supporting the idea.
